GREG PHILLINGANES + THE POCKET QUEEN | Trilian Sessions

Great drumming, and it looked like you were having loads of fun.

So basically he’s doing Stand Up with a keyboard on hand

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Haha! Greg is a total riot!

I've seen some preachers do the same! He was outstanding. "Thank you Jesus!" Best way he could have ended it.

Greg is such a legend. He’s had his hands in some of the best pop recordings of the last 50 years. From Michael Jackson, to Bruno Mars , the dude has done it all.

[@wcs1870]

"Some of the best pop recordings" is an understatement. He's a major reason Thriller is the best-selling album of all time.

[@mwernli2886]

@@wcs1870 Yes, along with all the other people who were involved in the production of it. I mean TOTO basically recorded the album. That alone tells you enough. Then there were some exceptional masters like Paulinho da Costa and Eddie van Halen and even from the recording side: Bruce Swedien as the Audio Engineer and Quincy Jones as the Producer. And don't forget people like David Foster, who played keyboard on the record as well. All of them made Thriller to what it is today.

[@H2R504]

I still own his first two albums…on vinyl!

[@jeje2021]

Mr. Phillinganes is such a treasure. And damn, The Pocket Queen owns her title for a reason. She's a queen alright.

[@callumwalsh6184]

more like all tight am I right

[@ollikru]

„It is always better to look cool than to sound cool“ says Greg. But the truth is, he sounds cool because he really connects his performance to the instrument. Greg is truly a great artist. Together with the fabulous Pocket Queen, a fabulous musical firework! Thank you.

[@terrydoyle]

THAT is how to demo a product. Well done to all. Great vibes

[@librisc]

Eric's laugh should be a sample sound in all libraries as a bonus

[@johnnulf624]

It never feels like Spectrasonics is trying to push a product. They just make the best instruments they can and let artists express themselves with it while putting a smile on your face. And the sales just fall in line because it's obvious in the way they operate and in playing the instruments that they really care about what they do.

[@celeryshredder]

Never a truer word spoken! All of the update videos feel much more like honest ‘announcements’ that the products have evolved rather than ‘adverts’.

[@DavidKfilmmaker]

That’s why I have everything except 1-2 sonic extensions…but I have the rest

[@iamchillytoy]

I know this is supposed to be a product showcase but I feel like I got free tickets to both a concert and a one man show. Thanks Spectrasonics! :)

[@r.e.d.62]

Except it wasn't one man...it was two amazingly talented people...

[@danepaulstewart8464]

Honestly, after seeing SO MANY pitches from so many plugin makers.. this really DOES feel a ton better about these libraries. It makes them feel more like realm music was can play on. WIN!!

[@hammerwielder]

Per Quincy Jones, Greg Phillinganes wrote the C section for Jackson’s hit “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” The fact Greg's the world's best pop keyboardist is obvious on this video! What a player!
